Overview

Multivariable analysis links coping styles to social support and mental health in adolescents, suggesting implications for intervention.

Key Points

  • Escape-oriented coping is associated with higher emotional symptoms and peer problems, indicating a need for targeted support.
  • Control-oriented coping correlates with greater mental wellbeing, prosocial behavior, and resilience among early adolescents.
  • Coping styles mediate the effects of social support on psychological difficulties and resilience, emphasizing their importance in mental health.
  • Results suggest early adolescence is critical for fostering coping skills to enhance wellbeing in high-adversity environments.
